1.On the Art of Building in Ten BooksOn the Art of Building in Ten Books
from The MIT Press
Price: $29.00

Customer Review:
This book is half a millennium old and I think it's easier and more pleasurable to read than most current authors writing about architecture. This is a classic, no doubt about that - but it's not dry and boring like I assumed it would be since it was assigned reading for a class. Alberti's genial... more info

3.The Idea of a Town: The Anthropology of Urban Form in Rome, Italy, and The Ancient WorldThe Idea of a Town: The Anthropology of Urban Form in Rome, Italy, and The Ancient World
from The MIT Press

Customer Review:
This is an ethnocentric view of the role of religion in ancient cities. The author assumes that all cities were the same and that notions from the western tradition apply to all ancient cities. The use of the term "anthropology" in the title is ironic; his approach is not at all anthropological... more info

4.Richard Meier Houses and ApartmentsRichard Meier Houses and Apartments
from Rizzoli
Price: $22.99

Customer Review:
I recieved this book as a gift and was very surprised. Its giver told me she had read a great review of it in the WSJ, and, judging the book by its cover (as all such books may well be sampled) I was excited. I am a great fan of Mr. Meier, so that may make me a little biased, but to Rizzoli's... more info

7.The Judicious Eye: Architecture Against the Other ArtsThe Judicious Eye: Architecture Against the Other Arts
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $34.67

Customer Review:
As with all of Rykwert's books, I have found this one both knowledgeable and stimulating. The author confronts a problem I have tried to address in my courses in architectural history, namely the relation of architecture to the other arts, especially the privileged ones of painting and sculture. I... more info

10.The Dancing Column: On Order in ArchitectureThe Dancing Column: On Order in Architecture
from The MIT Press
Price: $35.17

Customer Review:
we came to expect from Joseph Rykwert works of great erudition, which incessantly delve into their subject matter to uncover its deepest folds and hidden meanings...[perhaps a "deconstruction" without the fancy of that attribute], and this work is no exception to this. This is a thick investigation... more info
